Dip in fire

At the beginning of the third year of high school, there was a countdown to the college entrance examination on the blackboard in the classroom.The boss writes in the upper left corner of the blackboard with the most conspicuous yellow chalk. The first thing he does when he enters the classroom every morning is to change the numbers.

The students looked at the three-digit number that was neither thin nor thick. Although they didn't have a knife neck, they would inevitably frown.

Especially after the general review started, all kinds of earnest words became gold bars on the lips of teachers of various subjects. They were so precious that they would show up from time to time, dazzling and piercing.

For example, Zou Zou’s sentence in Jiguantouwen: "The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge crowded by thousands of troops. Students, we must overcome obstacles."

Another example is Lao Si's sentence, which is the most simple, rude, and fascinating: "If you can't learn to die, learn from me, and learn from death."

Regardless of whether the mainspring is loose or tight, the learning atmosphere of the senior three group is much warmer than before.

Since Zhong Ning came back after having a heart-to-heart talk with Lao Si half a month ago, he has entered a new realm.

According to Yang Jian's exclamation: "Look at him, he is studying with his head bowed, and he almost went to the bathroom with a book."

Yang Jian asked Zhong Ning: "Are you awakened? Are you addicted to hard work?"

Zhong Ning rummaged through a brick-like English dictionary, and simply expressed his ambition: "I want to get into the top [-]."

Yang Jian's eyes widened and he almost choked. He looked up at the boss on the podium again, and muttered, "Did the boss give you hormones?"

Zhang Weilan was listening, and his heart moved for a moment. He stared at Zhong Ning, his eyes became deeper and deeper, until Zhong Ning was so stared at by him that he couldn't look up the dictionary, and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Weilan immediately lowered her eyelashes, covered her eyes, and said softly, "It's okay."

After the cold weather, Zhong Ning didn't go to the library after school.The library is too cold, your fingers will freeze, and your learning efficiency will be greatly reduced. It is nonsense and poor.

He went home as soon as school was over and buried himself in writing papers.He made an agreement with Zhang Weilan, and when Zhang Weilan finishes working, he will go directly to Zhong Ning's house, so that the two of them can study together on the spacious writing desk.

Normally, when Zhang Weilan enters the house and closes the door, Zhong Ning will jump over to take advantage of it for a while, or the two of them will sit together for a few minutes, relax, and wait until the cold air on Zhang Weilan's body is warmed up. Study hard together.

Yan Huiwan and Zhong Yu would go to Zhang's house to help take care of old man Zhang and Xiao Huan, while Zhang Weilan could often study in Zhong Ning's room at [-] or [-] o'clock, or even later.

During this period of time, I lived very vigorously, as if there was a ray of light in front of me, neither far nor near.Run and run, run and run, run a gust of wind, you can reach out and catch it.

This day got up early, the two finished seeing off Xiao Huan together, Zhang Weilan took Zhong Ning to school, on the road opposite the school, Zhang Weilan stopped to wait for the red light, suddenly felt Zhong Ning leaning behind him.

Zhong Ning leaned his head on Zhang Weilan's back.Zhang Weilan was taken aback, then turned around and called out, "Zhong Ning."

Zhong Ning didn't respond.

"Zhong Ning?" Zhang Weilan called out again.

The green light came on, but Zhang Weilan did not ride out.He found that Zhong Ning behind him seemed to be falling asleep and was in a daze.

"Zhong Ning." Zhang Weilan's voice became louder.

This time Zhong Ning heard it, he raised his head, and sure enough he had just dozed off, staring at Zhang Weilan in bewilderment: "Huh?"

"Sleepy?" Zhang Weilan frowned, "Get out of the car first."

Zhong Ning rubbed his face and jumped off the car seat.Zhang Weilan also jumped out of the car: "It's too dangerous for you to do this."

"I didn't want to fall asleep." Zhong Ning sighed.

The two waited for another red light, and when the green light came on again, they pushed the car and walked towards the school side by side.

"What time did you go to bed lately? Will you still study after I go back?" Zhang Weilan asked.

"Occasionally." Zhong Ning yawned, his eyes were red and watery, "It's only one or two o'clock at the latest, which is about the same as yours."

Zhong Ning secretly scolded himself for not living up to expectations, Zhang Weilan still had to work part-time, and there were old and young at home to take care of, so he was much more tired than him.He just studied alone, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"I don't sleep much, and my work and rest habits are like that. You must have suffered so much all of a sudden, it must be unbearable." Zhang Weilan looked at Zhong Ning quietly.

The two walked into the school gate, Zhang Weilan pushed the bicycle into the shed and locked it, and said, "I haven't told you yet, starting next week, I won't be working in the milk tea shop."

"Not going?" Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "It's good not to go, so as not to be too tired."

"No." Zhang Weilan and Zhong Ning walked to the classroom together, "It's the boss's daughter who is pregnant. The lady boss said she wants to take care of her grandson, so the shop doesn't want to open."

Zhong Ning blinked: "That's it."

"Well. I still have a lot of money in my hand. I won't look for a part-time job before the college entrance examination. I just spend more time with grandpa and Xiaohuan when I have time." Zhang Weilan said casually.

Zhong Ning stared blankly at Zhang Weilan, and then suddenly grinned happily, smiling brightly and foolishly.

Zhang Weilan looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhong Ning said "hey" twice, and leaned into Zhang Weilan's ear and said, "Don't you feel different from before?"

Zhong Ning curled his lips as he said, "You wouldn't tell me these things if you were killed before..."

Zhang Weilan glanced at him, and said lightly: "Can it be the same?..." After finishing speaking, Zhang Weilan paused, and quickly squeezed Zhong Ning's palm while no one around was paying attention.

Starting from the palm of the hand, spreading along the arms to the tip of the heart, half of Zhong Ning's body was crisped by Zhang Weilan.That kind of numbness, a little light, and a little crackling feeling. ——When the breeze blows, the heart is full of joy.

Zhong Ning followed Zhang Weilan into the classroom with his butt bouncing, and Zhang Weilan said to him again: "I'm going to work in a milk tea shop for the last time this weekend, and you bring Xiaohuan to have a drink or two?"

Zhang Weilan: "Xiao Huan likes sweet things. I guessed that she wanted to come, but she didn't dare to tell me. You take her with you, just to relax. You've been too tense these days."

Zhong Ning lost weight, and his chin became sharper.

Zhong Ning nodded, as a sign of agreement, but then he stared at the chemistry book again, thinking, "It's not enough."

The school organized a comprehensive test on Thursday, and the scores were released on Friday, and the rankings were simply ranked.Zhong Ning did well in the exam this time, ranking in the [-]s.

That's a big improvement.The boss even praised Zhong Ning in class.But Zhong Ning was not happy.

"I've made great progress." Zhang Weilan exaggerated.After boasting, the man didn't smile at all, and asked again, "Is that why you're so dissatisfied?"

"This is just a comprehensive science..." Zhong Ning glanced at Zhang Weilan's test paper, and the total score difference was more than 40.Zhong Ning let out an "ah".

Afterwards, Yang Jian secretly asked him, "Are you trying to compare with Zhang Weilan?"

Zhong Ning waved his hand impatiently: "What do you know, get out."

Yang Jian: "..."

Although Zhong Ning was "obsessed with learning", he took Xiao Huan with him early on Sunday morning and went to the milk tea shop where Zhang Weilan worked part-time.

Zhang Weilan's guess was correct, Xiao Huan had long been greedy, Zhong Ning took her with her, and she was very happy along the way, her big eyes were shining, and she flickered twice.

After all, she is still a little girl, and a cup of milk tea can be coaxed into this.

Because he was afraid of delaying Zhang Weilan's part-time job, Zhong Ning specially picked Zhang Weilan to go there when she was about to get off work. It happened that the sun was setting and the sunset glow had dyed half of the sky red.

As soon as Xiao Huan saw the store door, she immediately grabbed Zhong Ning's hand and ran forward.Zhong Ning was overjoyed and told her to "slow down", but she didn't listen and ran even faster.

Xiao Huan dragged Zhong Ning into the store, Zhang Weilan stood behind the front desk, saw them both at a glance, Zhang Weilan stretched out her hand and beckoned them to come over.

"There is no one right now, so I can take care of you. Tell me, what flavor do you drink?" Zhang Weilan said this to Xiao Huan.

As he said that, he started to make a cup of original flavor - Zhong Ning only drinks original flavor.

Xiao Huan poked aside thinking, and later said to Zhang Weilan, "Brother, I want strawberries."

Zhong Ning clicked his tongue: "It's all pigment..."

"It's okay, it's nothing to drink once." Zhang Weilan handed the original cup to Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning sent Xiao Huan to find a place to sit at the side, while he lay down on the bar with a straw in his mouth, looking at Zhang Weilan.

Zhang Weilan's hands are so white, and her fingers are so long...the movements of making milk tea are also beautiful...

"Don't look at me like that." Zhang Weilan couldn't stand Zhong Ning's stare, she slapped Zhong Ning unceremoniously, and pushed Zhong Ning's head.

"It looks good." Zhong Ning smiled, "Recently, all I read are exam papers and exercise books...with my eyes closed, there are black and white letters, let's see if you can be better..."

Zhong Ning breathed out, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said obnoxiously: "It's hard to be lazy for a while, why don't you wash my eyes well?"

Zhang Weilan didn't speak immediately, and said after making Xiaohuan's cup: "There is still time before the college entrance examination, you..."

"Worried about me?" Zhong Ning said suddenly, moving forward.

Zhang Weilan sighed, and gave him Xiaohuan's cup of milk tea: "Yeah."

Zhong Ning: "Don't worry, I won't listen to the boss, I won't learn to die."

Zhong Ning's little heart swayed, and he went to deliver milk tea to Xiao Huan, feeling very happy.It's as if this cup of saccharin and coloring has spilled into his heart.

It's a pity that Zhong Ning didn't look good for too long, and someone came in at the door of the shop.

It was Gao Ying.

Because Zhong Ning was against his grades all the time, he didn't pick up Zhang Weilan from get off work anymore, and he hadn't seen Gao Ying for a long time, let alone seeing Gao Ying and Zhang Weilan together.

Zhong Ning stared for a long time, and saw Gao Ying go to the front desk to look for Zhang Weilan.

Xiao Huan was sitting on the side, Zhong Ning was standing here, Gao Ying didn't see it.But when Zhong Ning's mind was poured with jealousy, it became - she only had Zhang Weilan in her eyes.

Seeing Zhang Weilan and Gao Ying talking again, Zhong Ning grinned, not caring about "pretense" and "face", thinking: "It's still not good, she is everywhere. If this continues, I will die of sourness."

Xiao Huan looked at him curiously: "Brother Zhong Ning, what's wrong?"

After Gao Ying ordered the milk tea, she went to the other side to sit down and wait.The milk tea that Zhong Ning gave himself was also stuffed for Xiao Huan: "Hold it to brother."

After speaking, he went to the front desk again, and asked Zhang Weilan directly: "Did she find the milk tea shop after looking for you?"

"..." Zhang Weilan knew that Zhong Ning was going to be jealous again, so he deliberately said lightly, "Gao Ying has a remedial class on Sunday, and she will pass by when she gets home, and she will come occasionally. I didn't know she could come today. On Yang Jian The first time I said I was working here..."

Zhong Ning snorted: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Weilan glanced at Zhong Ning, "It's not important."

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Ning said eccentrically, "But you really are destined. The restaurant is close to her house, and the milk tea shop can pass by. Time and time again."

Zhang Weilan smiled lightly, but did not speak.His mind was dishonest, and he actually thought Zhong Ning's appearance was quite attractive.

Zhong Ning rolled his eyes and patted the table: "No, I have to think of a way."

At this time Gao Ying finally saw Zhong Ning and reached out to greet him.Zhong Ning took Gao Ying's milk tea to deliver, and sat down at Gao Ying's table.

Gao Ying smiled at him: "Are you coming to drink milk tea too? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Well, it's been a while." Zhong Ning nodded, feeling nervous.He didn't even think about whether he was too abrupt, but he came up and said, "...Gao Ying, let me ask you something?"

Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You ask."

Zhong Ning couldn't turn the corner, so he simply bit his tongue and asked, "Do you like Zhang Weilan?"

"..." Gao Ying took a sip of the milk tea before he could choke.
